Interview with Jesse from Buzzardstein

First off, how's life been treating you guys? Hope all is well.
Jesse: Everything is everything man. good times and bad times. As far as Buzzardstein goes its always fun. We been doing alot of shows all the time. We got the Doom Room jumpin off as a DIY venue. Signed to Leaf Lust. Looking forward to releasing some tuneage with you guys this year.
All good.
Tell these ig'nant fucks about Buzzardstein. Who is in it, when did it start off and whats the story behind it?
Jesse: Buzzardstein are the kings of the Mississippi outlaw underground. Were dedicated to fucking shit up and taking no prisoners. Hide your beer and cover your ears because this shit is about to hurt.the band consists of Adam Rogan on Gibson SG with Sunn amps smashed.Josh Harrison on the backbreaking Pearl drums of doom. You got Gary Lick channeling riffs from the outerspace planets colliding. Jeff Gough ripping sick Fender Jazz bass alien hate fuzz. And then theres me Jesse Moore on the microphone gettin it crunk with the catfish.It started off during the summer of 2007. Adam, Josh, and Gary were in Colossus. Jeff was a former Colossus bass player who had to leave for college but came back into the fold. Our friend Jeremy was on vocals at the time and I was going out on the road with them for shows and helping move equiptment or supplying street goods. Adam and Josh had been playing together for 5 years as Colossus and it was time for a new band. Gary had been on Bass and wanted to switch to lead guitar and Jeff was coming back to play Bass. Adam and I go way back to the days of skateboarding and playing crusty punk in the back of my grandmas house. They decided to ask me to join and offered me to do vocals so i was stoked to be in band. We started writing new songs under the name Buzzardstein because we knew that shit wasnt taken. We found a place to fit all our equiptment and that place is now the Doom Room which is our clubhouse/venue. couple million beers later and were all best friends who rip it sick and play music to destroy the ozone layer. We pretty much hang out and jam, go play all kinds of sick shows, and get aggro. Shit is fun as fuck.
What on earth is a Buzzardstein?
Jesse:The outcast bird of prey. Jeff came up with the name. Its pronounced like a buzzard mixed with Frankenstein. Everywhere we go people miss pronounce the band name which is great when i think about it because people do the same thing with Rwake, Kylesa, Torche, Zoroaster and so forth and so on. We just wanted something that sounded crusty and monster. Now Buzzardstein seems to translate into a human being who does not give a single fuck. Just some outlaws.
Leaf Lust Records. Give us the dirt on those fellows. How did you guys become involved with them?
Jesse: We met them while we were in jail on various drugs and weapons charges. They said they wanted to do up a label as a front for our interstate drug dealing empire. Were all very inspired by the way No Limit, Cash Money and Rap A Lot records handled their buisness in the 90s. Were just hustlers sellin candy and countin the greenbacks. teasing girls with all of our money. FTW
I know they are signing some heavy hitters right now. What do you think of the future of the label?
Jesse: Probably just some short stints in prison if we ever get snitched on and maybe a death or two. probably be some pigs gettin smoked, some hoes gettin fucked, and some crack gettin cooked. Im sure there will be plenty of painful music released and several live demonstrations of lives ruined for the fun of it.
I know you guys do shows with Black Market Ministry (also on Leaf Lust). Are they like your brother band? Your parners in crime?Jesse: Most definitely. Those dudes are straight up brothers and hands down my favorite band. Shits like a gang. One way in and no way out. Were definitely responsible for making crime look and sound sexy again. Im down to brawl for those dudes no doubt.
Heres a question for me personally. Everyone else can skip this part. Ever eaten alligator? How is it? I've heard it tastes like chicken and others have said it tastes like crab.
Jesse: Yeah Ive munched on Gator meat. It tastes like Snake. I just dip it ranch dressing.
WHat are some bands you guys are into? Whats the foundation of Buzzardstein?
Jesse: 2 members sport Black Flag tattoos if that gives you an idea. Eyehategod, His Hero Is Gone, Hawgjaw, Zoroaster, Tragedy, Deadbird, Buzzov*en, Man Is The Bastard, Soilent Green, High On Fire, Sourvein, Weedeater, YOB, -16-, Acid Bath, Neurosis, Buried At Sea, Kylesa, list goes on.
Pick 5 bands. Create the ultimate show. Who is playing?
Jesse: Black Market Ministry, Seahag, Power Pellut, Dark Castle, Seawitch and Buzzardstein. FTW
One word...Obama.
Jesse: never heard of em. is that a Black Metal band?
Any of you guys in any other projects?
Jesse: yeah we do shows in the projects. the black community loves us.
Have you ever seen anyone fuck a sheep? I've seen videos but that shit can't be real.
Jesse: nah but i seen a Nutria Rat rape a cat beside a dumpster.
Is Jeff Foxworthy funny or does he give southerners a lousy name?
Jesse: What band does he play in?
I notice that the whole doom/sludge thing has more of a following down south than it does up north. There are alot of guys in their girlfriends jeans up here wearing more makeup than a fucking corpse. Why is doom bigger down there? Or is that just how i see it from up here?
Jesse: poverty, lack of education, substance abuse, catfish, satan, the blues, oppression, busted plumbing, sexy southern belles,
OK. Shit talk someone. This is your section.
Jesse: All record labels suck dick.
Any final thoughts?
Jesse: Im ready to go play in Little Rock Arkansas with Witchs Tit and Music Hates You February 28th at The Downtown Music. Thats the sickest venue goin and Music Hates You is a big ol ball of metal law asskickin. Were goin up ther to drink and rip it sick as fuck. Fuck Scion Fest were playin Little Rock
You know the drill. Plug the site. Plug some stuff. Just please don't go plugging any livestock. (keep in mind I am an ig'nant yank. i only know what i hear. hahahaha)
Jesse: your fucking ignorant yankee. doomthefuckon
Thanks a ton man and the best of luck to you guys on everything in the future.
